New Series at WBUR CitySpace [FREE]: 'Get Educated: The Defining Issues of the 2020 Presidential Election'

As the countdown to elect the next president of the United States begins, where do the candidates stand on the issues that are important to voters? Starting this month, WBUR CitySpace begins a series of free events called “Get Educated: The Defining Issues of the 2020 Presidential Election.”

“In their effort to get elected, politicians often promise a lot,” said WBUR Senior Political Reporter Anthony Brooks. “We want to help voters understand precisely what they’re offering - whether it’s on healthcare, jobs or combating climate change – and how these policies would affect the lives of real people.”

Brooks, who will be in Iowa to cover the caucuses happening Feb. 3, helped spearhead WBUR CitySpace’s election coverage with “A Year Ahead – The 2020 Presidential Campaign” on November 5, 2019. (Video of that event is available on the CitySpace YouTube channel). Other upcoming topics in the “Get Educated” series include climate change, the economy, data privacy, foreign policy, immigration and the future of democracy, among others.
